Bringing Fiber to the Neighborhood at the 2025 Home Improvement Expo

The AccessPlus team had a fantastic evening connecting with homeowners, local businesses, and community members right here in Pittsfield at the 2025 Berkshire Eagle Home Expo.

As we continue rolling out neighborhood fiber internet to the first areas of the city, it was exciting to meet so many people eager to learn about how AccessPlus Fiber can make a real difference in their homes. From lag-free streaming and gaming, to seamless remote work and smart home device connectivity, we had great conversations about what fast, reliable internet means for your life — and how fiber delivers the performance today’s households need.

What is Fiber Internet, and Why Does Your Home Need It?

Fiber internet is the fastest and most reliable internet available today. AccessPlus installs fiber optic lines underground, then runs the fiber lines directly to your home with a micro trench connecting an all-in-one ONT, router, and Wi-Fi device.

Unlike traditional cable, fiber internet delivers much higher speeds — AccessPlus residential plans start at 1 Gbps and go up to 8 Gbps! That means smoother streaming, faster uploads, no lag for gamers, and zero buffering, even with the whole household online.

AccessPlus in the Community

As part of our ongoing commitment to making high-speed internet more accessible for everyone, AccessPlus was recently awarded a grant from the Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) to bring fiber internet to low-income housing developments in Pittsfield. This important initiative helps ensure that more families and individuals across the city have access to the fast, reliable internet they need.

With this grant, AccessPlus will be connecting 13 multi-unit dwelling properties and serving 587 housing units in Pittsfield.
